[19:16] <GM|> ***LOG ON***
[19:17] <GM|> *You are at White Sands.
[19:17] <GM|> *Raoul is currently talking with his embassy, learning more about Jord, and at Uileam's request, more about the Yeti.  He has also forsworn himself from the hijinks about to happen.
[19:17] <GM|> *In a secure place, Anika begins to tell the party what she needs to build an I-Demon device.
[19:18] * Anika holds up her notebook (in which she has scrawled a list), and addresses the party, pencil tucked behind her ear.
[19:19] * Nikolai stands at attention.
[19:19] * Aislinn` is just hanging along for the lulz. She listens to Anika give her spiel, though she may not be paying complete attention.
[19:19] <Anika> "First, we need a power source. Preferrably a more efficient one than I used last time."
[19:20] <Anika> "A battery, perhaps."
[19:21] <Aislinn`> "How big of a battery?"
[19:21] <Yuki`> ((And back.))
[19:22] * Yuki` is going to be looking occasionally at the work, but mainly focusing on looking for people that shouldn't be around.
[19:22] * Anika holds up a hand, a good distance above her head. "About this tall, maybe. Should do it. Twice that wide."
[19:23] <Anika> (( Nevermind that. Jon doesn't know his inches symbol from his feet symbol. :p ))
[19:23] * Nikolai searches his mind for battery locations.
[19:23] <Aislinn`> "Sooo, a couple o' car batteries."
[19:24] <Aislinn`> "It's a military base.  Should be no problem to snag one and convert it."
[19:26] <GM|> ((Nikolai and Aislinn can make awareness checks, +10 and +30 respectively.))
[19:26] <Anika> "A solar power cell might be more suited to our needs. Should be easy enough to get one, though."
[19:26] <Aislinn`> !sugar
[19:26] <GM|> ((No sugar.  !roll 1d100 ))
[19:26] <Aislinn`> !roll 1d100
[19:26] <Highwind>  Aislinn` - 1d100: 10 ( Total: 10 )
[19:26] <Nikolai> !sugar
[19:26] * Aislinn` finds it. >.>
[19:26] <Nikolai> ((I am dumb))
[19:26] <Nikolai> !roll 1d100
[19:26] <Highwind>  Nikolai - 1d100: 83 ( Total: 83 )
[19:27] <Anika> (( Highwind agrees. ))
[19:27] <GM|> Aislinn remembers that she has access to the motor pool, and some of the batteries therein.  Whether they're right for the job or not...?
[19:28] * Nikolai stands there.
[19:28] * Aislinn` will grab a couple of different ones to see what Anika would prefer. >.> She's sure it's relatively easy to convert the power sources. "Just be careful if you use jumper cables."
[19:28] <GM|> *Nikolai has no clue where to find batteries.
[19:28] * Anika nods, and scribbles down a few notes.
[19:30] <Anika> "Also, I'll need a means of calibrating the device, so we can control where we end up. Nikolai, do you think you can help with that?"
[19:30] <Nikolai> "I do."
[19:31] * Nikolai resets his glasses confidently.
[19:31] <Nikolai> "I'll need the complete device, though, before I can correctly do so."
[19:33] <Anika> "Right. Anyway, the basic building materials should be simple enough to obtain. The last thing we'll need, then, is a set of blueprints."
[19:33] * Anika tries to say this with a casual air, as though this were a simple matter.
[19:34] <Nikolai> "..."
[19:34] <Aislinn`> "Uh, isn't that something you'd make up?"
[19:35] <Nikolai> "I would have thought so too."
[19:35] <Yuki`> "With Anika?  You'd be surprised."
[19:36] <Anika> "I could, but to make a device that would be both portable and reusable might prove too difficult for even my skill level."
[19:37] <Nikolai> "Hmm..."
[19:38] <Anika> "It would take time to develop, as well. So, it would be much easier if I had a set of blueprints to follow."
[19:39] <Yuki`> "That sounds like it can be a pretty tough job..."
[19:40] <Nikolai> "Hmm. So what we need to do is basically... steal the I-DEMON blueprints."
[19:40] <Aislinn`> "Where are we going to find blueprints that are easy to get ahold of?"
[19:40] <Anika> "We wouldn't necessarily have to steal them. If we can just locate them, I could copy down the specifics and return them without anyone being the wiser."
[19:41] <Nikolai> "But we either need to bring them to you, or bring you to them, without being seen."
[19:42] <Nikolai> "No small task."
[19:42] <Aislinn`> "Around here it's probably on a computer.  Copy it to a disc, cover up our tracks..."
[19:42] * Aislinn` looks around at the motley crew. "Though we'd need someone trained with computers."
[19:42] * Anika shrugs. "Don't look at me."
[19:43] * Nikolai holds his hands up defensively.
[19:43] * Yuki` looks kind of confused with the very concept of a computer. "I can sneak around a bit, but not do any of that stuff with the thing."
[19:43] <Uileam> "... computers?"
[19:43] * Aislinn` facepalms.
[19:44] <Uileam> (( I don't recall computers being all that accessible in the 70s. <.< ))
[19:44] <Aislinn`> (( I thought it was modern day? :P ))
[19:45] <Uileam> (( ... I give up. I'm never writing another bloody character. ))
[19:45] <Aislinn`> (( I asked about that and Jon told me modern day. O.o ))
[19:45] <Anika> (( It is. ))
[19:45] <GM|> ((Uileam left Earth in the 70's.))
[19:46] <Aislinn`> (( Ah. ))
[19:46] <GM|> ((To him, computers are the size of rooms and the domain of univeristys and governments.))
[19:46] <Uileam> (( Am I the only person who reads sheets? ))
[19:46] <Anika> (( You don't recall the 70s period, Cala. :p ))
[19:46] <GM|> ((I do! ))
[19:46] <Aislinn`> (( Dude, I'm a wee bit out of it. ))
[19:46] <Aislinn`> (( Forgive me. ))
[19:46] <GM|> (( n/p __
[19:46] <GM|> ))
[19:46] <Aislinn`> (( I can't halfway keep track of mine. >.< ))
[19:46] <Anika> (( I generally don't read sheets too much so as not to confuse OoC knowledge with IC knowledge. <.< ))
[19:47] <GM|> ((Now, on with the plot!))
[19:47] <Nikolai> (( i don't have systems or nuffin))
[19:47] <Anika> (( ...I do. ))
[19:47] <Aislinn`> "Soooo, since I haven't received all my super cool Tom Cruise Mission Impossible-hanging-from-a-ceiling spy training yet, I can't do more than use a computer to play Unreal Tournament."
[19:48] <Yuki`> "...Un... you know, I should probably stop asking about Earth things for a while."
[19:49] <Anika> "Their computers might be equipped with a lot of security. I'm no hacker."
[19:49] <Aislinn`> "It's ok, all you need to know about Tom Cruise is that he's crazy now.  He believes we come from aliens...though after what I've seen now and learnin' about this other dimension and stuff, Battlefield Earth might actually make sense."
[19:50] <Aislinn`> "Yeah, after 9/11 people got kinda antsy about computer security."
[19:50] * Anika nods. "This will take some investigative work, then."
[19:50] * Nikolai resets his glasses.
[19:50] <Aislinn`> "Even before then there was the whole Los Alamos deal."
[19:50] * Yuki` blinks a couple times. "Erm, that doesn't really help much, but okay." Yuki shrugs. "Different windows, or something."
[19:51] <Uileam> "Bribe somebody?"
[19:51] <Anika> "What do we have to bribe with?"
[19:51] <Aislinn`> "That could work.  Offer a soldier some booze for a favor."
[19:52] * Anika nods. "He couldn't give us up without getting himself in trouble, right?"
[19:52] * Aislinn` nods, "Right. Lots of trouble."
[19:53] * Uileam nods to himself. "Good to see some things don't change."
[19:53] <Aislinn`> "Granted less trouble than we would get in to.  Gitmo ain't so fun I hear."
[19:54] <Aislinn`> "But still, he or she would be up a creek without any paddles."
[19:55] <Anika> "So, you two will see what you can find out?"
[19:55] <Aislinn`> "I'll go down to the PX if there is one near here, grab a case of Miller Lite, and see what I can't learn from some of the guards."
[19:56] <Uileam> "I'm a lot less persuasive than that, so unless it's though I'm necessary, I'll find something else to do."
[19:56] <Yuki`> "And if you need help with some sneaking, I can try.  I just can't guarantee anything."
[19:56] * Anika shakes her head. "American beer..."
[19:57] <Anika> "Anyways. Perhaps we should save the most difficult part for last."
[19:58] <Aislinn`> "I presume you mean actually buildin' the dang thing."
[19:59] <Anika> "Well, I meant the blueprints, but that too."
[20:01] <Anika> "It might be best to obtain the battery first, so we can ensure that it's fully charged by the time we need it."
[20:02] * Aislinn` nods. "Right, I'll get on that first."
[20:03] <Anika> "How should we go about it?"
[20:04] <Aislinn`> "Just tag along with me so you can check them out.  No one is gonna complain about a battery or two missin'."
[20:04] * Anika nods. "Right."
[20:04] <GM|> ((Anyone else wanna go with Anika/Aislinn?))
[20:04] <Nikolai> "I'm afraid I can't help much until we get the finalized product..."
[20:04] <Uileam> (( I'd like to check in on the Yeti situation. ))
[20:05] <Yuki`> ((I think I might end up working a bit better with the blueprint stuff. Well, unless someone else has Stealth as well.))
[20:05] <GM|> ((Alright, I'll do Uileam first, then the Battery, then see how timing is working out.))
[20:05] <Aislinn`> (( I have stealth. ))
[20:05] <Aislinn`> (( ~Ninja~ ))
[20:06] <Yuki`> ((Ah, okay then. And with the military expertise, it'll be better to go with Aislinn then.))
[20:07] <GM|> ((So, I'll start with Uileam first.  If Nikolai want's to go with him?))
[20:08] <GM|> *Uileam needs to find more information about the Yeti.  Good thing there's a liason officer whose job it is to help out Theran Natives while on Earth.
[20:09] * Uileam coughs. Theran native, that's him. He'll keep his mouth shut. <.<
[20:09] <Anika> (( Anika has Stealth, but she's doing enough already. ))
[20:09] * GM| is now known as GM|LtSampson
[20:10] <GM|LtSampson> ((There's an office, you gonna go there?))
[20:11] * Uileam goes there!
[20:11] <Yuki`> ((Hm, Yuki could tag along for something to do/catch up on stuff Thera-side.))
[20:11] <Uileam> (( Sorry, I thought you'd initiate. ))
[20:11] * Uileam knocks on the door.
[20:11] * GM|LtSampson looks up. "Come in!"
[20:12] <GM|LtSampson> "Ah, Mister..  Uleam, was it?"
[20:12] <Yuki`> ((...erm... would that be okay with Uileam? Assuming it isn't too late already?))
[20:13] <Uileam> (( s'fine with me. I'm just info-hunting. ))
[20:13] <Uileam> "Hermit, sir, crazy person, it's all the same really."
[20:13] <Uileam> "I was wondering how our friend was doing over on Thera.  Raoul, his name was."
[20:13] * Yuki` slips in behind Uileam, not saying much unless spoken to.
[20:14] <GM|LtSampson> "Ah, yes.  Sorry.  Just I get a lot of people coming in and out of here with wierd requests.  What's a 'Gryshal Green'?
[20:14] <Yuki`> ((Dammit, BRB. >_<))
[20:14] <GM|LtSampson> "Raoul?  He's in the comm center, I would think.  Diplomacy and all.  Have to ask them."
[20:14] <Uileam> "Oh, I thought he was over on Thera."
[20:15] <GM|LtSampson> "No, there's a limit on portals lately, after that group came back through.  Technical stuff I have no idea about."
[20:15] <Uileam> "Well, never hurts to ask.  You see, I was originally caught in all this mess looking for friends of mine, and my latest lead went cold since I was... imprisoned.  I was wondering if you could perhaps help me?"
[20:16] <GM|LtSampson> "You think that they may have come Earthside, Mr. Uleam?"
[20:16] <GM|LtSampson> "Who are you looking for?"
[20:17] * GM|LtSampson pulls out a keyboard and gets ready to type a search.
[20:17] <Uileam> "I think you would have known if they came over here.  Although that would probably be the easiest way to find them and all."
[20:17] <Uileam> "Well, they're called Yetis."
[20:18] * GM|LtSampson blinks. "Could you run that by me again?"
[20:18] <Uileam> "Yetis, my good sir."
[20:19] <Uileam> "Rather large, covered in white fur for the most part, look particularly vicious, excellent hunters."
[20:19] <GM|LtSampson> "As in the Sasquatch?  The Bigfoot?"
[20:20] <GM|LtSampson> "Oh man, ever since we found out about them, the crypto-zoologists have been in high gear looking for them.  The Pacific Northwest and the Himalayas..."
[20:20] <Uileam> "I've only heard of them called Yetis, but I would suppose their description would match those given for a Sasquatch, yes."
[20:20] <Yuki`> ((Okay, back. Sorry.))
[20:20] <Uileam> "Well, the ones I'm looking for are Therans.  As this is the Theran liason office, I thought you might be able to inquire about them for me."
[20:21] <GM|LtSampson> "We've been looking for something like those guys for years before we learned about Thera, Mr. Uleam.  Nothing but lots of nothing.  Some may have thought that they were using Magic to hide themselves, but some people think they're not real on this world."
[20:21] <GM|LtSampson> "And we don't have any individual Yeti on base at the moment."
[20:22] * Uileam shakes his head. "I lived with them for close to thirty years. On Thera. I would like to talk to somebody who might know something about them. On Thera."
[20:23] <Uileam> (( ps. there's an 'i' in my name <.< ))
[20:23] <GM|LtSampson> ((I know.  But you never corrected his pronounciation.  :)  ))
[20:24] <Uileam> (( As far as I know, the pronounciation is the same. ))
[20:24] <GM|LtSampson> "Look, Mr. Uleam, I don't have authority to open a gate to Next Door.  Best I can do is put a search out, and see if anyone's seen them.  Will that do?"
[20:25] <GM|LtSampson> ((He's not pronouncing the 'i'.))
[20:25] <Uileam> (( I've been saying Yoo-lee-emm the entire time to myself. I'm checking on pronounciation now lol ))
[20:26] <Uileam> (( If it does turn out to be different and the time is past, consider me retconning in a correction. >.> ))
[20:26] <GM|LtSampson> ((Done.))
[20:26] <Uileam> "That would be amazing.  I must ask if you could do it rather quickly, as time is of the essence and all that.  You see, they're quite vital to me living."
[20:27] <Uileam> "Thank you, sir."  He bows and takes his leave.
[20:27] <Uileam> (( Hah, take that! ))
[20:27] * GM|LtSampson blinks at the suddent exit, and sees Yuki. "Anything I can do for you, ma'am?"
[20:27] * GM|LtSampson does this while typing into the computer.
[20:29] * Yuki` is going to stay back for a moment after Uileam leaves. "A couple small things, yes. I like to keep up with what's going on in Thera, and I was wondering if you knew about anything major that happened lately. Especially strange stuff, involving powerful people."
[20:30] <GM|LtSampson> "Oh, I don't get that information, ma'am.  You'd have to talk to the Diplomatic corps.  I just deal with personal issues as best I can."
[20:30] <Yuki`> "Ah, okay."  Yuki thinks for a moment...
[20:31] <Uileam> (( According to my resident Gaelic speaker, it's IL-am. ))
[20:31] <GM|LtSampson> ((He was saying you-LEAM))
[20:32] <Uileam> (( Consider his ass corrected in-between the lines. <.< ))
[20:32] <GM|LtSampson> ((Done.))
[20:32] <Anika> (( I've been pronouncing it you-leam, too, lol. ))
[20:32] <Uileam> (( Gaelic is awesome like that. ))
[20:32] <Anika> (( One I realized that was in fact a U, not a V. >.> ))
[20:33] <GM|LtSampson> ((THe Party gains Language:Gaelic +1  Not for real.))
[20:34] <Yuki`> "Can you tell me anything about a specific person on Thera that I've been looking for?  A Mr... Warrick?  Rich man, around the Refulgo region?"
[20:34] * Uileam will behind-the-scenes check on Raoul's progress if at all possible.
[20:36] * GM|LtSampson does some more rapid-fure typing. "Mr. Warrick? Nothing specific. What does he do on Thera?"
[20:36] <GM|LtSampson> "And a first name?  Or would it be his family name?"
[20:37] <Yuki`> "I'm... not really sure.  That's all of the name I heard, and I think he's a noble of some kind."
[20:38] * GM|LtSampson spends a few more minutes typing, and checking his computer. "Best I can give you ma'am is a 'Lord Warrick', a minor govenor in Refulgo. No address though. It's just 'common kowledge' on this man here."
[20:39] * Yuki` frowns a bit, but nods. "I see. Thank you, then." She bows and heads out.
[20:39] <GM|LtSampson> ((Alright, that's for that plot, now on to the Battery Quest!))
[20:39] * GM|LtSampson is now known as GM|
[20:40] * Aislinn` totally get Anika into the motor pool. She's just that cool...or has the security clearance.
[20:40] <Aislinn`> (( *gets ))
[20:40] <GM|> *Aislinn and Anika walk into the motor pool.  Getting in isn't hard.  Getting out...  Well, depends on what you're trying to get out.
[20:41] <GM|> *Aislinn remembers that batteries would be in the maitnence area.
[20:41] * Aislinn` heads over to the shop, where the mechanics would keep the spare batteries. "This way."
[20:41] <Aislinn`> (( >.> Yeah, I read your mind. ))
[20:41] * Anika nods and follows, looking around curiously.
[20:42] <Aislinn`> "Might want to steal a charger while we're here too.  We can just sign it out or something and bring it back when we're done."
[20:42] * GM| is now known as GM|SrgHowsen
[20:42] * GM|SrgHowsen is doing some paperwork when he sees the two of you enter the office. "What can I get for you?"
[20:43] <Aislinn`> "We need a battery and a charger," she says honestly.
[20:43] <Uileam> (( ps. I think it's Sgt <.< ))
[20:43] * GM|SrgHowsen is now known as GM|SgtHowsen
[20:43] <GM|SgtHowsen> "Ya, ya.  Got a requisition form?"
[20:43] <Aislinn`> (( She's a Sgt too. ))
[20:44] <Aislinn`> "Ah, yeah, what passes for a requisition form around here?" >.>
[20:44] <Aislinn`> "We really just need to borrow it for the juice.  We can bring it back."
[20:44] * GM|SgtHowsen glares at the marine. "Ah. This is one of those 'special projects, ain't it?"
[20:45] <Aislinn`> (( I know, she'd still say 'sir' or whatever, it was an rp slip. ))
[20:45] <GM|SgtHowsen> "What kind do you need?"
[20:45] * Aislinn` smirks, "Hey, don't ever say we Marines don't know how to have a good time." She sniffs and looks at Anika, recalling the size. "Got any spare truck batteries?"
[20:46] <GM|SgtHowsen> "I got dozens.  But no form, no battery."
[20:46] <GM|SgtHowsen> "Unless..."
[20:46] <Aislinn`> "What you need?"
[20:46] * GM|SgtHowsen looks at Anika. "Not with the civvie."
[20:47] * Anika crosses her arms and scowls.
[20:47] <GM|SgtHowsen> "Just step out, miss.  Won't take a moment."
[20:47] * Anika eyerolls. "Fine."
[20:48] * Anika steps outside and closes the door behind her.
[20:48] * Aislinn` raises an eyebrow. "Sargeant, I think ya' might be gettin' the wrong idea here."
[20:48] * GM|SgtHowsen looks at Aislinn. "Don't you be getting the wrong idea either."
[20:49] <GM|SgtHowsen> "You see, Gunny Hauser, works near the helipad.  Well, he's got a sill running.  He's been poking around with grains we've been bringing in from Next Door.  Err, Thera, you know."
[20:49] <Aislinn`> "...right, what is it?"
[20:49] <GM|SgtHowsen> "Some of his hooch is getting out of hand."
[20:49] <GM|SgtHowsen> "Can you see where I'm going with this?"
[20:50] <Aislinn`> "...kinda.  You either want it gone or want him to share."
[20:51] <GM|SgtHowsen> "I don't mind a little moonshine on the side, but this is over and above.  You get me?  Do this, and you get your battery."
[20:52] <Aislinn`> "Got it.  Of course, I can't promise he just won't build another one."
[20:52] <Aislinn`> "But I can handle taking that one down."
[20:53] <Uileam> (( Mission Impossible training get! ))
[20:53] <Aislinn`> (( lol ))
[20:54] <GM|SgtHowsen> "Now, go collect your friend there, and anyone else you might need.  Come back when you can prove it's done."
[20:56] <Aislinn`> "Not a problem."  She heads out to collect Anika.  "You any good at sneakin' around?  We'll get Yuki too and anyone else in the mood for a little disassembly."
[20:58] * GM|SgtHowsen is now known as GM|
[20:58] <Uileam> (( I have no concept of Stealth. <.< ))
[21:00] <Anika> "Sure."
[21:02] <GM|> ((So, anyone gonna join them for a little vandalism for profit?))
[21:02] <Yuki`> ((I can go for that.))
[21:03] * Aislinn` will go back and make the offer for people to tag along.
[21:03] <Uileam> (( As I said, Uileam is not exactly a stealthy man. ))
[21:03] <Nikolai> ((people may recognize Nikolai))
[21:04] <GM|> ((So, the three of you then?))
[21:04] <Anika> (( I'm in. ))
[21:05] <Yuki`> ((Also in.))
[21:05] <GM|> ((Alright!))
[21:06] * Uileam has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[21:06] <GM|> *The three women head to the heliport, in search of Gunny Hauser.
[21:06] <GM|> ((First mention of Charlies Angels gets de-leveled!))
[21:06] <Anika> (( ...Damn. ))
[21:07] * Aislinn` just looks for the people who might appear drunk. <.<
[21:07] <GM|> *There is no one drunk here.  That would be bad.
[21:07] <GM|> ((Awareness please?))
[21:07] * Yuki` looks to Aislinn. "Too bad I don't have any dark clothing with me. Then again, who knows how shadowy the place will be?"

[21:08] <Aislinn`> (( Fail by 12. ))
[21:08] <Anika> "How hard can it be to sneak around a bunch of drunk guys?"
[21:09] <Aislinn`> "Drunk guys with access to heavy artillery."
[21:09] <GM|> ((Yuki sees a building with a causal guard outfront.  It's off to the side.))
[21:09] * Uileam has joined #I-DEMON
[21:09] <Anika> "...That's not a good combination."
[21:09] * Yuki` nudges the other two and looks toward the casual guard.
[21:09] <Aislinn`> "Some of them I wouldn't trust with guns sober."
[21:10] * Aislinn` stops talking and looks where Yuki indicates. "Hmmm."
[21:10] <GM|> *The 'guard' so to speak looks around, while trying not to seem suspicious.  He's failing miserably.
[21:11] * Aislinn` snickers. "Think we can distract him and get inside? Or see another way in?"
[21:12] * Anika looks around.
[21:12] <Yuki`> "I don't, but I think Anika or I could be distracting."
[21:12] * Aislinn` looks to see if there's a window or other door that isn't guarded first.
[21:13] <GM|> *There are a couple windows.  Standard issue.
[21:13] <GM|> ((How close are you getting?))
[21:15] <GM|> ((To the building?))
[21:16] * Aislinn` is just getting close enough to know there are windows. Appearing like she's just walking by for now. How easy does it seem those windows might be to break into?
[21:16] <Yuki`> ((Probably not getting too close right now.))
[21:17] <GM|> *They are standard windows.  Easy to break if you hit it hard.
[21:17] <GM|> *But you can't see what's on the otherside from your distance.
[21:17] <GM|> ((And make a Stealth roll.))
